What sort of time frame were you thinking and/out would you think now?
I had 2 more members in 1203 (Teldora and Nex) with passage of Ship Bill
and a couple in the AO moving that way for 1204 (I also had a couple back
face entries planned with Stepping Stone worlds, but that was all homebrew
and nothing overly hinted in official material). All smacks of US
Antebellum new statehoods: always in pairs so as not to upset the
balance.... Which of course can't last forever.
Though I imagine Black Curtain and Regency put the coming Coalition civil
war aside. It looks set up to tells the Centrists & Federalists they're
both right to some degree and to concentrate on common enemy....
Economically and policy wise, if not settling the F-tech business...
